Egalla is restaurant POS software built for the pace of Karachi. Waiters take orders on Android phones, kitchen tickets print the moment an order is placed, and every bill, split or takeaway token is recorded even when the internet or electricity drops. Cash, card, JazzCash, Easypaisa and bank transfer are tracked separately, and the closing report reaches your WhatsApp every night. Whether you run a nihari shop in the old city, a BBQ counter in Clifton or a café in DHA, we set you up on WhatsApp or a phone call, with no visit needed.
Karachi’s food trade runs on volume and late hours. On Burns Road, nihari, bun kabab, haleem and rabri shops serve a steady line from evening until well past midnight, and most customers eat fast and leave faster. Down at Boat Basin in Clifton, BBQ grills, chaat stalls and juice counters work largely on takeaway and parcel orders, while the seafront restaurants at Do Darya seat large families who stay for hours and order in rounds.
Between those extremes sit thousands of biryani counters, chai dhabas, broast shops and fast-food outlets across the city. Biryani counters live and die by lunchtime speed: plates and parcels go out by the dozen, and the counter has to know which token has paid. Chai dhabas sell small tickets all day, where a missed cup or an uncharged paratha adds up by the end of the month. Delivery and collection orders add another stream to keep straight.
Then there is power. Load-shedding and internet outages hit different parts of the city at different hours, and a billing system that freezes when the router goes down is worse than a notebook.
Egalla runs on Android phones, so a phone with a charged battery keeps billing through load-shedding. Orders, bills and kitchen tickets work offline and sync when the connection returns. Bluetooth thermal printers keep printing on their own charge, so the kitchen line at a Burns Road nihari shop does not stop because the UPS is struggling.
For Boat Basin BBQ stalls and biryani counters, counter mode gives every takeaway order an automatic token number, so the person at the hatch calls the right parcel. Do Darya-style family dining uses the live table map, splits bills by person or by dish, and merges tables when cousins arrive late. Every waiter has their own login and PIN, so voids carry a name. At night, the WhatsApp closing report shows cash, card, JazzCash, Easypaisa and bank transfer separately, so you know exactly what should be in the galla.

Auto token numbers on the receipt so the counter calls the right order.
Every waiter logs in on their own phone. You see who sold what, and every void.
Egalla has a free plan for one phone, so a small Karachi dhaba or counter can start without paying anything. Dukaan is Rs. 1,499 a month for a busy restaurant with a small team, and Karobar is Rs. 3,999 a month for owners running several branches on one dashboard. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial, and you don’t need to buy a computer or POS terminal. Compare all restaurant POS prices.
